A small village located along the Madawaska River part of the Township of Madawaska, Combermere is known to be a quaint cottage destination, south east of Algonquin Park. A popular village to pass through en route to Haliburton and Eganville, Combermere shares the humble qualities of many of the surrounding rural hamlets. In the artist’s signature rendering of the landscape, ribbons of soft yellows, ochres and olive tones mould the curves of the landscape in single brushstrokes. Typical for the artist, small cabins dot the landscape in the background highlighting the inhabitants and their role within the landscape. Throughout the artist’s mature period, he often frequented these very rural locales in search for varied communities outside of the popular painting spots. An avid outdoorsman, these travels also offered Jackson opportunities for personal travel and excursions.
